CTW for me. Many people wrote the game off on release due to isometric view and anime style graphics, but underneath that lies quite an interesting and well thought out game. I think being a DS release originally was a bit of a turn off for most also.

LCS & CTW, I adore both, though both tend to be more slightly unappreciated as opposed to flat-out underrated, no GTA is generally underrated IMO.

Yeah I think underapreciated is a better word. Even GTAA done alright with the critics.

I have to agree the handheld titles are under appreciated. I like them better than some of the main titles in the series.

Vice City Stories. An absolute brilliant game that sh*ts on Tommy Versh*tty and the OG Vice City. And yes, CTW, which I have replayed recently and have grown to love even more.

CTW and VCS for me. Also if anyone is hardcore, GTA London 1969 is also really underrated, but the missions itself are really nicely designed.

LCS & VCS. The former has SlashTV, and the latter has a good fighting style that could've been greatly improved if they included it in IV.

Thems fighting words. At least "Tommy Versh*tty" doesn't get killed in a matter of a few seconds like Vic "I hate drugs, but I'll build a drug empire anyway" Vance. :p

 

InB4 Tommy drowns in water jokes. Hah hah.

GTA CTW gets underestimated way too much. The 2.5D camera view takes a bit of time to get used to, I'll give you that, but overall, the story and gameplay makes me return to the game a lot.

I refuse to believe that was Vic in the opening scene as much as I don't believe Ryder is an antagonist in SA.

 

 

Totally not a butthurt Ryder/Vic fanboy.

After Chinatown Wars, since that's been covered, i think III has been overshadowed by later games, but did lots of things i prefer to later games. Some of the following: looser mission requirements, more violent or crapsack world, smaller feeling (radio music is not popular music and characters aren't big personalities), and there's no moral story in the plot, it's just a dumb "action movie" kind of game with no sympathy required. (Vice City got 3/4 of those things, i think, but eh, everyone loves Tommy and i didn't like the map so much.)

LCS, VCS, CTW, and the lost and damned is underrated as a DLC in my opinion.

Regarding TLAD I agree. When it comes to EFLC, TBOGT always seems to get the glory, but IMO TLAD was/is a far better fit for the game world GTA IV created. Johnny's a brilliant protagonist and honestly it's the only GTA game where it feels like I'm not just another gang member, but as part of a brotherhood.

Even though I do prefer TLAD to TBOGT, I can't stand to play TLAD after beating the story because

 

 

The clubhouse burns down and you lose the ability to save there and use all its unique (?) games and other things it has inside including spending time with your fellow brothers, a feature I think made the pre-final mission game amazing. It's one of those things that it made for an entertaining story but hampered the game for me a little bit. Then again, could be wrong about some of this as I haven't played TLAD start to finish in a while.

That's why you should keep a save file before the final mission. I like having one right after Bad Standing or Heavy Toll.

Thinking about it, you could say GTA 2 was Underated for it's time, a highly innovative & unique game which was better than it's predecessor in pretty much everyway, but it was met with very average reviews.

GTA Chinatown Wars.

 

The only game where I can:

 

Drive a BP Bus (police can't shoot me and I could run over people if I wanted to).

 

A BP Limo (drive in style and comfort and not get shot at).

 

And a BP Style SR (allows very fast travelling and of course, not get shot at)

 

And best of all, I can play this game on the go.

 

I would like to mention GTA Vice City Stories as well because of helicopters, planes, criminal empire management, and the wetsuit costume.
